The residency will take place from October 1–15, offering classical musicians two weeks of immersion and artistic focus in an inspiring environment.

We asked Nadia and Andrew what they are looking forward to during their stay:

“I’m looking forward to developing concrete ideas for an interdisciplinary performance combining music, soft sculpture installations and video projection, as well as working on my piano music program.” – Nadia Okrusko

“I’m super grateful to Art Music Denmark, and I’m really looking forward to being at the beautiful Fundación Valparaíso for an exciting, quiet, and focused period. I’ll be exploring artistic funding models in contemporary music and starting to shape a new cello project that will lay the groundwork for several upcoming collaborations.” – Andrew Power
